About This Home

As of October 2025

This adorable shotgun-style ranch home offers the perfect blend of classic character and modern convenience, all just minutes from everything! Fully remodeled just three years ago with permits on file, no detail was overlooked: all-new plumbing, electrical, gas lines, and HVAC systems ensure peace of mind. Enjoy the charm of restored original hardwood floors and trim in the front two rooms, paired beautifully with an updated fireplace and custom mantel. The kitchen and bathroom were completely updated, and all appliances, including washer and dryer, stay with the home. Maintenance-free siding and a rare off-street parking pad round out this gem. Whether you're looking for a quiet retreat or a home close to it all, this one checks every box!
